Every right that both Christians and non-believers take for granted today, hasn't come about through conformity to traditional Christian values - they have come about through non-conformity(the heretics - including non-believers) who fearlessly fought for change.

Christians born today take on those new values that the heretics and non-believers bravely fought for - and assume those values are our countries 'traditional' Christian values; which, in all reality, are not.

and where in the Bible, in the New Testament, does it say to do any of these things?

If a man kills someone and says he did it because Jesus told him to do so we do not condemn Christianity as a religion for murderers.
